Green Fingers Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hibiscus head
In a flower bed
A finger hewn
Planted and sewn

[Chorus]
Oh, magic in her hands
She could make anything grow
Magic in her hands
She had green fingers

[Verse 2]
It's curious where animals don't go
Mandrake rooted deep into the soil
Where the sun won't fall but it flourishes
See the pretty maids all in a row

[Chorus]
Magic in her hands
She could make anything grow
Magic in her hands
She had green fingers

[Verse 3]
It's reaching and groping
A clammy handshake clawing the ivy
Crawling the tightrope along the lattice work
With this hand I thee wed, with this hand I thee bed
With this hand I
[Outro]
With this hand, ohh
With this hand I
With this hand
Ohh, with this hand
With this hand
With this hand
With this hand I
With this hand
With this hand
With this hand I
